Cute local cafe with great outdoor seating and a really chill neighbourhood vibe. We came on a sunny weekend and it was packed, but the staff were friendly and kept things moving smoothly. Tried a bunch of different things between us: oat milo latte, iced matcha, sausage roll, the mortadella sandwich, benny roll, beans with poached eggs, and the bacon & egg roll. Everything was solid. The mortadella sandwich was fresh, not too heavy, and had a good balance of meat and pickles. The sausage roll was flaky with a nice kick of flavour, and the milo latte had proper froth and a decent chocolate hit (not just sweet milk). Drinks came out pretty quickly and looked great. Plenty of people-watching from the outdoor tables and the big window counter. Our server (Sebastian) was a super nice guy was friendly, chatty and welcoming which made our overall experience and meal feel elevated as well. it’s hard to find people this friendly these days so it was nice. I would say Little West feels like the kind of spot you’d become a regular at if you lived nearby.

What a great little cafe! We came in for lunch and had the Veg Muffaletta and Brunch Bowl, both absolutely delicious. All the ingredients were quality, super fresh, perfectly prepared and beautifully presented. We also tried their home baked damper with chocolate and golden syrup which was great. Coffee was excellent. Service was friendly and took the time to have a chat. Definitely recommend and we will be back to try more of the menu.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Little West is my daily go-to for coffee in the Inner West… and for good reason. The coffee is consistently incredible (I genuinely don’t function without it), and the team behind the counter are always full of warmth and good vibes. Happy, friendly faces make such a difference – and these guys nail it every time. I’ve also eaten here a few times and the service is always impeccable. The food is fresh, delicious, and thoughtfully presented. It’s the little touches that really make Little West shine. A true local gem.

The pinnacle of speciality coffee + friendly neighbourhood cafe! The menu is seasonal and always adapts to the newest demands of Sydney, while still paying homage to where they are. The coffee bar is filled with speciality coffee roasters on rotation and the team are using their own milk-based single origin roasted by local pro’s “Made of Many”. Always a welcoming vibe and such a knowledgeable team behind the machine!

Thoroughly enjoyed this hidden gem. You'll be surprised how great the food taste here. Whilst they may not offer many seats, they try to provide a great vibe within what they have. Great for a morning coffee and breakfast. Would I return? Yes.

Cute cafe in the backstreets of Haberfield. An obvious favourite for the locals. Delicious single bean coffee from Brazil, and friendly table service . Food coming out of kitchen looked great, showing that the chefs care about quality and the customer. We thoroughly enjoyed our coffee and gluten free orange and almond slice. See you again soon !

The Mog Champ sends his regards. It's a small, simple yet worthy cafe of stopping by especially if you're near the area! They have their fair share of customers so it does look like it can get busy during those peak times. Ordered the chicken quiche along with fritters and a hash brown on the side. We sat outside which was refreshing especially on a good sunny day. The road isn't flat so it does feel like you're sitting slightly on an angle, nothing that they can fix unfortunately! Good service and great brunch with a compact menu! Mogliest Regards, Your Mog Champ
